Academic laboratory in San Diego, California

The Coastal and Marine Institute Laboratory (CMIL), formerly known as the Coastal Waters Laboratory, is an academic laboratory operated by the College of Sciences of San Diego State University (SDSU), in the Point Loma community of San Diego, California.

It is located on a coastal site at northern San Diego Bay, on the former grounds of the closed Naval Training Center San Diego, now part of the Liberty Station redevelopment project in Point Loma.

Research

The Laboratory focuses research on environmental and ecological problems on the Southern California Bight coastline in Southern California, caused by urbanization in the coastal environment at land-water interfaces, such as estuaries.

Coastal GIS Center
Wetlands Restoration Center (Pacific Estuarine Research Lab)
Coastal and Marine Ecology Group
Beach Water Quality Center

HPWREN

Data is transferred back from the Laboratory via the High Performance Research and Education Network (HPWREN).

Equipment

10,000 square feet devoted to outdoor aquaria and a greenhouse
Continuous flow seawater system from San Diego Bay
Large hall for classes, lectures, and workshops on resource issues
Boat maintenance and SCUBA diving facility

Coastal Zone Campus

Adjacent to the CMIL laboratory complex is another research laboratory, operated by the Metropolitan Wastewater Department (MWWD) of the City of San Diego, in order to consolidate marine monitoring and analytical operations.

Together, this has created a “Coastal Zone Campus” on San Diego Bay to allow mutual access to and sharing of new and innovative research ideas and activities among federal regional, and local entities, and nationally known scientists and experts, in order to exchange information related to the coastal zone environment.
